Thinking out loud (American Council on Education/Oryx Press series on higher education) - Hardcover

"There is great wisdom in these pages, and great vision as well. Steve Trachtenberg offers a wellspring of insights into education enriched by family roots that run deep in the American experience. As a child of immigrants, he understands the confusing world of the newcomer: as a father of two sons, he has empathy with students and with parents: and a a Jewish head of a secular university he wear his religious and moral convictions about tolerance for differences as a badge of honor. All of these values are alive in this book, laced with humor, intelligence, and great warmth. I's a joy to read." Eli N. Evans President Charles H. Revson Foundation "Stephen Joel Trachtenberg is one of the best thinkers and most perceptive people in American higher education. He is also very funny. This collection of his writings is just marvelous." Arthur Levine President Teachers College, Columbia University
